Utah's Iconic Double Arch Collapses After 190 Million Years

The collapse of the famed rock formation highlights the natural erosion processes and the impact of human activity.

The Double Arch in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area collapsed last week with no injuries reported.
Geologists attribute the collapse to natural erosion processes, including wind and rain, over millions of years.
Human activity and fluctuating water levels in Lake Powell may have accelerated the arch's demise.
The collapse underscores the fragility of natural landmarks and the importance of conservation efforts.
Similar collapses have occurred in other arches within Utah's national parks, reflecting ongoing geological changes.
